that president obama oversaw and then at the end of this administrative term you now have this scandal with the secret service and women in such a degrading way. if they could shape that and show is this the type of tone we want from our leaders in washington. of course, president obama did not have his hand specifically in what happened with the secret service, but if you could set it as if this is a tone that you've seen over the last four years and couple it in with some of the other disasters, it's something that would play pretty well in a negative ad. >> does that ring true to you, that voters are going to put this on the president? >> of course not. lenny, first of all, mitt romney doesn't have the character to stand up to rush limbaugh and ted nugent over their obnoxious and vulgar behavior, so i think he's got to first pass that character test. >> but he did. >> he didn't step up to them. he quietly dismissed them. the more important point here is that this scandal concerning the secret service and the gsa in no way reflects on president obama and his standards. in every poll

republicans, churches, they're lining up against this new birth control policy from the obama administration. first question, might we see any compromise from the white house? >> yes, brooke. in defense, i've been speaking to my sources who are saying the administration is looking for a way to essentially thread the needle. there will be no compromise on the fundamental principle that women will get contraception at no pay, and that won't change, from their point of view. but organizations, charities and institutions, they'll make sure they have a plan where they are uncomfortable. for example, women who work for catholic institutions, they're offered a separate contraception plan on the side, and insurers won't charge women for that plan. that won't work on a national l l level, but owe fiblz sfficials e looking for a solution like that, brooke. >> is there any evidence yet that it's hurt president obama mil politically yet? >> this cuts both ways. while a majority of catholics object to this particular provision ordering catholics to comply with this provision, 60% of a majority of women b

if you talk to anybody in the obama administration, they will say it's our policy. is it a reflection of policies or is it just he's the luckiest guy in the world? >> well, if that's the case he is still the most unluckiest guy in the world because he walked in a situation that was abysmal. you have these gop candidates and leaders constantly bashing good news for america. i mean, i can't think of anything more unpatriotic right now than the ongoing onslaught of 200,000 jobs being created in this country. that's cause for celebration but what you're see something the core of this party and that they're more obsessed with trying to win the white house than being focused in on trying to turn this country around because you celebrate news like 200,000 jobs being created and how can we keep this going -- you're right, they're playing the game. both sides are trying to make this look good for their party, and i think what really needs to happen is they need to look good for the country. and the leader that does that is the leader people are going to get behind. >> i thin
